I plant many cultivars of Corydalis solida in hope of establishing a population with different flower colors. They cross and self seed in my woodland.

I agree, I don't much care about named selected in a plant species that grows spontaneously and annually from seedlings, almost negating having named forms. Just get enough plant & color diversity going, and the seedlings happen. My blood red one, similar to George Baker, is now everywhere in the garden, unnamed and equally as good as C. solida 'George Baker'. Getting some good purple ones too. But I may consider getting some named forms of drastically different colors, to increase the "gene pool" and let the bees do the work :D

Rick, most of mine are like yours but I did luck into pale pink, a 'raspberry' form and I have 'Transylvanica' which is a lighter shade of reddish-pink than George Baker. They are all self-seeding so I might get some more interesting colours in the future. Mine are well into bud now but just showing the first tint of colour in the buds. We are suppose to have cool weather for the next week so things will slow down considerably, otherwise, the first solida would have been open in the next couple of days.

Here's what is supposed to be C. transylvanica (or C. solida ssp. solida, whatever we're calling it these days??) with pretty good colour. The first photo looks very red (though not as red as Mark's seedling); the second photo is probably a little closer to the truth.
